Pokémon: I have a Pokémon too!

I left school today to participate in a competition. The school does not require us to wear school uniforms. Anyway, the commentator will tell us which school we are from when introducing us. Having students wear something distinctive can also make them more memorable.

The temperature in Guangzhou in September is still changeable, so this is a season for wearing random clothes.

The white short-sleeved shirt was printed with a grimacing head of a salamander. The hem of the shirt was tucked into black drapey trousers, and he wore a thin white jacket on the outside, and finally a baseball cap.

The competition will be held in the city center of Guangzhou. In addition to a prize of 50,000 yuan, the first prize winner will also receive an egg produced by Happy Egg, which is extremely delicious and nutritious.

The school bus took the students who were competing in Yangcheng today. Those who lived farther away needed to ask for leave in advance. The school would reimburse half of the travel expenses, but students could choose whether to sign up for the competition.

Nearly ten people got off the bus with Shen Xiqing, and only one of them had a school recommendation quota like Shen Xiqing. In the district-level competition, their school only had two seeded places, one for the key class and one for the ordinary class.

Shen Xiqing entered the venue carrying Squishy Mole and Salamander, while Chouchou was looking outside in the Poké Ball.

[Let us once again congratulate the 102 contestants who passed our auditions and entered the finals! ]

【And today, we will also add 20 top students from 16 universities to join the competition as seeded players. 】

The commentator on the field explained the current situation on the field to the audience.

As a Happy Egg Cup jointly invested by several universities, the audience has long been aware of such seeded places and is not disgusted by them. After all, the seeded players every year can bring them exciting matches.

The contestants’ portraits appeared on the big screen in the middle of the field, and were shuffled to form a battle table.

Shen Xiqing's opponent was an unfamiliar boy, who could be identified as a student of Shanjiang High School from the school logo in the lower left corner of his competition photo.

For matches other than the quarterfinals, the central venue will not be used for competition. Instead, the competition will be held in the six surrounding venues. Shen Xiqing's competition venue is Venue No. 5 on the west side.

Shen Xiqing's match was earlier, so it was her turn soon.

[The next player to appear is Shen Xiqing, a seeded player from Yangcheng Training High School. Her partner is Salamander, a rare starting Pokémon choice.]

[The other contestant is You Yang from Shanjiang Middle School. His partner is the Orb-Silk Spider. In the previous auditions, the Orb-Silk Spider's combination of spinning silk and netting was also eye-catching.]

The commentary was transmitted to the audience through the headphones distributed upon entry, and the only thing the contestants could hear was the audience's shouts.

"Both parties can use one elf. If one party loses its ability to fight, the other party wins!"

After the referee confirmed that both sides understood the rules, the whistle sounded.

"Jet flame!" The blazing flames quickly attacked the orb-silk spider.

"Orb-silk spider! Stop it with the electric net!" The flames were advancing too fast and covering too large a range. The tiny orb-silk spider could no longer run away and could only try to stop it with its skills.

The jet of flame broke through the electric net and hit the orb-thread spider relentlessly. The fire lizard had already run to a place not far from the orb-thread spider, ready to finish it off at any time.

"The Orb-Silking Spider has lost its ability to fight. The winners are Shen Xiqing from Yangcheng No. 1 High School and the Night-Thief Salamander."

[One strike to win! The Night Salamander only used one jet of flame to make the Orb-Silk Spider lose its ability to fight. Is this the strength of a top player? ]

The commentator spoke in a very exaggerated manner, and the audience in the stadium seemed to feel the oncoming heat wave just like the orb-web spiders and began to cheer.

You Yang was knocked off the court within less than half a minute of coming on the court. He was under great psychological pressure and felt the gap between himself and these seeded players. He suppressed his arrogance that had begun to grow because of his combination skills.

The Night Thief Salamander walked off the stage somewhat bored. How did an opponent who was defeated in such an instant pass the audition?

Shen Xiqing put the Juicy Mole on his shoulder and picked up the Night Burglary Lizard. "Most of the students in our class have other competitions to play instead of coming here to participate in the auditions."

"If you want a real opponent, you have to be at least among the top 32, right?" Shen Xiqing gave a little face and estimated.

"byi" Zizhi Mole also doesn't like one-sided battles. He feels that he should prefer opponents of similar level, so that he can constantly fight with opponents through strategy and agility.

"hoxi" the fire lizard nodded in agreement. It was very interesting to see that the opponent could not catch up with him and kept losing blood.

Shen Xiqing smiled bitterly. Why did she feel that her Pokémon were all a bit malicious? Was it an illusion?

The Poké Ball on the waist shook twice. At this time, it should be that Fishmeleon was excited about Salamander's victory.

Shen Xiqing patted the Poké Ball and said, "We will continue to win!"

Shen Xiqing's opponent in the top 64 is a competitive crab, which moves very quickly on its four legs. Unfortunately, it is a bit biased in its specialization, and its only long-range means are foam beams and mud shots.

The turbid mist could only make him blind, and the venom impact directly turned his fist into the same purple color as his body.

"The competitive crab lost its ability to fight, and the night-thief fire lizard won."

In the round of 32, Shen Xiqing met another seeded player, the Fire Monkey from Yuan'an Middle School.

"Provoke!" The Infernape quickly provoked to prevent the Salamander from strengthening itself in the turbid fog.

The Salamander stared at the Charmeleon with hatred, looking extremely angry.

"Bodybuilding." Infernape began to strengthen itself and struck several bodybuilding poses.

"Throw Mud." He couldn't just watch the opponent strengthen himself, so he threw Mud and directly hit Infernape who was standing in place and strengthening.

The splashed mud obscured my vision somewhat, and even after I wiped it off, some of it still stuck firmly to my face.

After strengthening, Infernape rushed towards Salamander, who used jet fire to block his approach.

Infernape avoided the jet of flames and moved forward, with his skills only hitting his corners.

"Night thief fire lizard! Go back into the fog!" Shen Xiqing woke up the Night thief fire lizard which had somewhat lost its mind due to the provocation.

Salamander quickly retreated back into the mist to prevent Infernape from engaging in close combat with her.

Infernape looked towards the mist hesitantly, "Infernape, move away."

The trainer did not intend to let Infernape stay in front of the fog, so as to avoid being hit by skills that came out of nowhere, and he retreated a little further to give himself enough distance to react.

"Jet of flame!" Flames shot out from the edge of the thick fog like a long fire dragon, swift and hot.

The Fire Monkey didn't expect that the Salamander didn't hide too deep, and the flames moved forward very quickly. He couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly.

"Just grab her! Flame Fist!" Since I can't escape, I'll seize the opportunity to fight back!

"Sand!" The sand was thrown towards the eyes of the Fire Monkey. The Fire Monkey closed his eyes and grabbed the Salamander, but only caught a long tail.

Although the flaming fist missed, he was able to take another punch by grabbing her tail.

"Poisonous Fang!" The Night Salamander used her flexibility to twist her body and bite the monkey's hand that was holding her tail.

The Fire Monkey's hands instantly turned purple and swollen, and he stepped back in pain.

"Jet Flame!" While the distance is still short, jet flame damage again.

In the end, Infernape couldn't bear the pain in his hands and made many mistakes, eventually losing the battle.

Shen Xiqing was somewhat shocked by the power of the poisonous state. Would it really not cause any harm to the Pokémon's body?

Shen Xiqing felt a little reluctant. Normally, the Pokémon would recover quickly from poisoning and battle injuries as long as they rested and received treatment. But this was a more dangerous state of severe poisoning...

Shen Xiqing sat on the bed in the hotel, looking at the Night Thief Salamander and the others who were eating together.

I felt confused. Was she intentionally hurting other elves just to win?

"Wouldn't it be good to forget your previous memories?" Yukshi's voice came through the yellow gem pendant.

The night thief fire lizards were unaware and were still eating their delicious dinner.

"Your previous education has taught you to be too upright and kind to this world. This will be a hurdle on your road to becoming stronger."

"If you forget it, you will feel much more relaxed. You won't have to torture yourself with your conscience, and you won't have to worry about what will happen to the opponent's elves..."

"You said it's a hurdle, so of course I have to step over it." Shen Xiqing held the pendant.

"Forget it. The problem still exists, but I may have ignored it. This is not a good way to solve the problem."

"Then what can you do? Don't use poison? Then when you encounter those elves who have undergone targeted training, your means of attack will become very limited."

"No! I have to learn how to use poison. I also have to learn how to treat the aftereffects of the poison and solve the consequences caused by me. Only then can I feel at ease."

"Respected God of Wisdom Youkexi, am I right?" Shen Xiqing looked at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window and asked the God of Wisdom in his heart.

"..."

"Without special training, ordinary poisons will not have adverse effects as long as they are treated promptly."

"In regular competitions, special toxins need to be reported and the antidote must be backed up before use. Before the fight, the opponent will be informed of the time limit within which they will not suffer any sequelae."

"So what you were worried about before is actually not a problem." You Kexi looked at Shen Xiqing through the pendant. He really liked this child.

"So our God of Wisdom has been inducing me to forget before?" Shen Xiqing intuitively felt that Yu Kexi was in a good mood now.

"This place is very different from your previous world. Your previous concepts will become obstacles to torture your conscience. Sometimes forgetting is a good thing."

You Kexi sincerely hopes that Shen Xiqing will not encounter so many setbacks in her future, as the torture of her conscience will temper her will.

Shen Xiqing also gradually realized that compared with the previous world, her life had not changed much except for the appearance of Pokémon.

They have the same parents and friends, their life experiences haven’t changed much, and their personalities are the same as in their previous lives.

But now, although it is a normal fighting behavior in the eyes of ordinary people, it makes her doubt her own behavior. After all, this place is different from before.

"I will try my best to adapt, but I will not give up the other half of myself."
